ABOUT SUBSCRIBE

The early music specialist Giovanni Antonini will prepare arias by Haydn, Mozart, and Mysliveček along with Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony. Chief conductor Semyon Bychkov will be presenting even older repertoire—Giovanni Gabrieli represents Venetian music of the early baroque period. Following Mozart with the Labèque sisters, we will move on to Schubert’s Second Symphony. Lukáš Vasilek will make his Czech Philharmonic debut conducting Arthur Honegger’s imposing oratorio Joan of Arc at the Stake for narrators, solo voices, choir, and orchestra with the French actress Audrey Bonnet in the main role. Jakub Hrůša will also be leading large-scale performing forces in Vladimír Sommer’s Vocal Symphony, written in the 1950s. We will also hear the premiere of Pavel Zemek Novák’s Canto, a work premiered by the Czech Philharmonic, and Leif Ove Andsnes will play Grieg’s Piano Concerto.
